NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Northfield Investments, Inc. and Northfield Bank ("the Bank") and the Bank’s wholly-owned significant subsidiaries, NSB Services Corp. and NSB Realty Trust. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition and the consolidated results of operations for the unaudited periods presented have been included.  The results of operations and other data presented for the three months ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for the periods indicated.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change are: the allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets, impairment on investment securities, fair value measurements of assets and liabilities, and income taxes.  Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period they are deemed necessary. While management uses its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ significantly from those estimates. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these material estimates.
 
Certain information and note disclosures usually included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the preparation of interim financial statements.  The consolidated financial statements presented should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013, of Northfield Bancorp, Inc. as filed with the SEC.

The Company held 23 REMIC pass-through mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by GSEs and one REMIC mortgage-backed security issued or guaranteed by GSEs  that were in a continuous unrealized loss position of greater than twelve months at March 31, 2014.  There were 12 pass-through mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by GSEs, 20 REMIC mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by GSEs, two REMIC mortgage-backed securities not issued or guaranteed by GSEs and one corporate bond that were in an unrealized loss position of less than twelve months. All securities referred to above were rated investment grade at March 31, 2014.  The declines in value relate to the general interest rate environment and are considered temporary.  The securities cannot be prepaid in a manner that would result in the Company not receiving substantially all of its amortized cost.  The Company neither has an intent to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis or, if necessary, maturity.
 
The fair values of our investment securities could decline in the future if the underlying performance of the collateral for the collateralized mortgage obligations or other securities deteriorates and our credit enhancement levels do not provide sufficient protections to our contractual principal and interest.

NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)


The Company monitors the credit quality of its loans by reviewing certain key credit quality indicators.  Management has determined that loan-to-value ratios (at period end) and internally assigned credit risk ratings by loan type are the key credit quality indicators that best help management monitor the credit quality of the Company’s loans.  Loan-to-value ratios used by management in monitoring credit quality are based on current period loan balances and original values at time of origination (unless a more current appraisal has been obtained).  In calculating the provision for loan losses, management has determined that commercial real estate loans and multifamily loans having loan-to-value ratios of less than 35%, and one-to-four family loans having loan-to-value ratios of less than 60%, require less of a loss factor than those with higher loan-to-value ratios.

The Company maintains a credit risk rating system as part of the risk assessment of its loan portfolio.  The Company’s lending officers are required to assign a credit risk rating to each loan in their portfolio at origination.  When the lending officer learns of important financial developments, the risk rating is reviewed and adjusted if necessary.  Periodically, management presents monitored assets to the Board Loan Committee.  In addition, the Company engages a third party independent loan reviewer that performs semi-annual reviews of a sample of loans, validating the credit risk ratings assigned to such loans.  The credit risk ratings play an important role in the establishment of the loan loss provision and in confirming the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  After determining the general reserve loss factor for each portfolio segment, the portfolio segment balance collectively evaluated for impairment is multiplied by the general reserve loss factor for the respective portfolio segment in order to determine the general reserve.  Loans collectively evaluated for impairment that have an internal credit rating of special mention or substandard are multiplied by a multiple of the general reserve loss factors for each portfolio segment, in order to determine the general reserve.
 
When assigning a risk rating to a loan, management utilizes the Bank’s internal nine-point credit risk rating system: 

1.Strong
2.Good
3.Acceptable
4.Adequate
5.Watch
6.Special Mention
7.Substandard
8.Doubtful
9.Loss
 
Loans rated 1 through 5 are considered pass ratings.  An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Substandard assets have well defined weaknesses based on objective evidence, and are characterized by the distinct possibility the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable based on current circumstances.  Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted.  Assets which do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but possess weaknesses, are designated special mention.

Included in originated and acquired loans receivable (including held-for-sale) are loans for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued due to deterioration in the financial condition of the borrowers.  The recorded investment of these nonaccrual loans was $17.2 million and $17.7 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Generally, loans are placed on non-accruing status when they become 90 days or more delinquent, and remain on non-accrual status until they are brought current, have six consecutive months of performance under the loan terms, and factors indicating reasonable doubt about the timely collection of payments no longer exist.  Therefore, loans may be current in accordance with their loan terms, or may be less than 90 days delinquent and still be on a non-accruing status.    

These non-accrual amounts included loans deemed to be impaired of $12.6 million and $13.5 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Loans on non-accrual status with principal balances less than $500,000, and therefore not meeting the Company’s definition of an impaired loan, amounted to $4.1 million and $3.8 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  Non-accrual amounts included in loans held-for-sale were $471,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest were $584,000 and $32,000 at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively, and consisted of loans that are considered well secured and in the process of collection.  
   
The following tables set forth the detail, and delinquency status, of non-performing loans (non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 or more and still accruing), net of deferred fees and costs, at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).  The following table excludes PCI loans at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, which have been segregated into pools in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310-30.  Each loan pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. At March 31, 2014, expected future cash flows of each PCI loan pool were consistent with those estimated in our most recent recast of the cash flows.

Included in the table above at March 31, 2014, are loans with carrying balances of $13.3 million that were not written down by either charge-offs or specific reserves in our allowance for loan losses.  Included in the table above at December 31, 2013, are loans with carrying balances of $21.8 million that were not written down by either charge-offs or specific reserves in our allowance for loan losses.  Loans not written down by charge-offs or specific reserves at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013,  are considered to have sufficient collateral values, less costs to sell, to support the carrying balances of the loans.

The average recorded balance of originated impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $38.0 million and $51.4 million, respectively.  The Company recorded $457,000 and $592,000 of interest income on impaired loans for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
    
There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The following tables summarize loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

All of the relationships in the table above were restructured to receive reduced interest rates.
 
At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, we had troubled debt restructurings of $36.1 million and $36.8 million, respectively.

Management classifies all troubled debt restructurings as impaired loans.  Impaired loans are individually assessed to determine that the loan’s carrying value is not in excess of the estimated fair value of the collateral (less cost to sell) if the loan is collateral dependent, or the present value of the expected future cash flows if the loan is not collateral dependent. Management performs a detailed evaluation of each impaired loan and generally obtains updated appraisals as part of the evaluation.  In addition, management adjusts estimated fair values down to consider recent market conditions appropriately, our willingness to accept a  lower sales price to effect a quick sale, and costs to dispose of any supporting collateral.  Determining the estimated fair value of underlying collateral (and related costs to sell) can be difficult in illiquid real estate markets and is subject to significant assumptions and estimates.  Management employs an independent third party expert in appraisal preparation and review to ascertain the reasonableness of updated appraisals.  Projecting the expected cash flows under troubled debt restructurings is inherently subjective and requires, among other things, an evaluation of the borrower’s current and projected financial condition.  Actual results may be significantly different than our projections and our established allowance for loan losses on these loans, which could have a material effect on our financial results.

At March 31, 2014, no TDR loan that was restructured during the twelve months ended March 31, 2014 had subsequently defaulted.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present the assets reported on the consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair value as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, by level within the fair value hierarchy as required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC.  Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.  The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates,

volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlations or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Available for Sale Securities: The estimated fair values for mortgage-backed, GSE and corporate securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized third-party pricing service.  The estimated fair values are derived primarily

29

Table of Contents
NORTHFIELD BANCORP, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)


from cash flow models, which include assumptions for interest rates, credit losses, and prepayment speeds.  Broker/dealer quotes are utilized as well when such quotes are available and deemed representative of the market.  The significant inputs utilized in the cash flow models are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company (Observable Inputs), and are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.  The estimated fair values of equity securities, classified as Level 1, are derived from quoted market prices in active markets.  Equity securities consist of publicly traded mutual funds.  There were no transfers of securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2014.     
Trading Securities: Fair values are derived from quoted market prices in active markets.  The assets consist of publicly traded mutual funds.
 
In addition, the Company may be required, from time to time, to measure the fair value of certain other financial assets on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP.  The adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write downs of individual assets.
 
Impaired Loans: At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had originated impaired loans held-for-investment and held-for-sale with outstanding principal balances of $41.4 million and $31.7 million, respectively, which were recorded at their estimated fair value of $37.6 million and $27.6 million, respectively.  The Company recorded net impairment recoveries of $107,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and net impairment charges of $156,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and net (recoveries)/charge-offs of $(111,000) and $385,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, utilizing Level 3 inputs.  For purposes of estimating fair value of impaired loans, management utilizes independent appraisals, if the loan is collateral dependent, adjusted downward by management, as necessary, for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the appraisal date, or the present value of expected future cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans and troubled debt restructurings.
 
Other Real Estate Owned:  At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, the Company had assets acquired through foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, of $150,000 and $634,000, respectively.  These assets were recorded at estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs when acquired, establishing a new cost basis.  Estimated fair value is generally based on independent appraisals.  These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are considered Level 3 inputs.  When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the allowance for loan losses.  If the estimated fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through non-interest expense.  The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of changes in economic conditions. 
 
There were no subsequent valuation adjustments to other real estate owned (REO) for the three months ended March 31, 2014.  Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.    
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The FASB ASC Topic for Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.  The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above.  The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities not already discussed above:
 
(a)
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Certificates of Deposit
Cash and cash equivalents are short-term in nature with original maturities of six months or less; the carrying amount approximates fair value.  Certificates of deposit having original terms of six-months or less; carrying value generally approximates fair value.  Certificates of deposit with an original maturity of six months or greater, the fair value is derived from discounted cash flows.
 
(b)
Securities (Held to Maturity)
The estimated fair values for substantially all of our securities are obtained from an independent nationally recognized pricing service.  The independent pricing service utilizes market prices of same or similar securities whenever such prices are available.  Prices involving distressed sellers are not utilized in determining fair value.  Where necessary, the independent third-party pricing service estimates fair

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements - (Continued)


value using models employing techniques such as discounted cash flow analyses.  The assumptions used in these models typically include assumptions for interest rates, credit losses, and prepayments, utilizing market observable data where available.
 
(c)
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Stock
The fair value for Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLB) stock is its carrying value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed and there is no active market for this stock.
 
(d)
Loans (Held-for-Investment)
Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as originated and purchased, and further segregated by residential mortgage, construction, land, multifamily, commercial and consumer.  Each loan category is further segmented into amortizing and non-amortizing and fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories.  The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current prepayment assumptions and current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  This method of estimating fair value does not incorporate the exit price concept of fair value prescribed by the FASB ASC Topic for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
 
(e)
Loans (Held-for-Sale)
Held-for-sale loans are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and therefore fair value is equal to carrying value.
 
(f)
Deposits
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
(g)
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. 

The fair value of off‑balance sheet commitments is insignificant and therefore not included in the following table.
 
(h)
Borrowings
The fair value of borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturity.
 
(i)
Advance Payments by Borrowers
Advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance have no stated maturity; the fair value is equal to the amount currently payable.

Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected losses, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors.  These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision.  Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on‑ and off‑balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments.  In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Note 7 – Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  For purposes of calculating  basic earnings per share, weighted average common shares outstanding excludes unallocated employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) shares that have not been committed for release and unvested restricted stock.

Diluted earnings per share is computed using the same method as basic earnings per share, but reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock were exercised and converted into common stock.  These potentially dilutive shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period using the treasury stock method.  When applying the treasury stock method, we add: (1) the assumed proceeds from option exercises; (2) the tax benefit, if any, that would have been credited to additional paid-in capital assuming exercise of non-qualified stock options and vesting of shares of restricted stock; and (3) the average unamortized compensation costs related to unvested shares of restricted stock and stock options.  We then divide this sum by our average stock price for the period to calculate assumed shares repurchased.  The excess of the number of shares issuable over the number of shares assumed to be repurchased is added to basic weighted average common shares to calculate diluted earnings per share.
 
The following is a summary of the Company’s earnings per share calculations and reconciliation of basic to diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

Note 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” This ASU clarifies that if an in-substance repossession occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure, or the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal arrangement. This ASU will require interim and annual disclosure of both, the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company’s adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 there were no other new accounting pronouncements that would materially impact the Company or its subsidiaries.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains certain “forward-looking statements,” which can be identified by the use of such words as “estimate”, “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan”, “seek”, “expect” and words of similar meaning.  These forward looking statements include, but are not limited to: 

statements of our goals, intentions, and expectations;
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. 

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.  In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. 
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
adverse changes in the securities markets;
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
effect of shut down of the federal government
our ability to manage operations in the current economic conditions;
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities;
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;
changes in the level of government support for housing finance;
significant increases in our loan losses; and
changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.
 
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.  Except as required by law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Note 1 to the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, as supplemented by this report, contains a summary of significant accounting policies.  Various elements of these accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments.  Certain assets are carried in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at estimated fair value or the lower of cost or estimated fair value.  Policies with respect to the methodologies used to determine the allowance for loan losses, estimated cash flows of our PCI loans, and judgments regarding the valuation of intangible assets and securities as well as the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets are the most critical accounting policies because they are important to the presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, involve a higher degree of complexity, and require management to make difficult and subjective judgments which often require

assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. The use of different judgments, assumptions, and estimates could result in material differences in the results of operations or financial condition.  These critical accounting policies and their application are reviewed periodically and, at least annually, with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.  For a further discussion of the critical accounting policies of the Company, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Overview
This overview highlights selected information and may not contain all the information that is important to you in understanding our performance during the period.  For a more complete understanding of trends, events, commitments, uncertainties, liquidity, capital resources, and critical accounting estimates, you should read this entire document carefully, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
Net income amounted to $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to basic and diluted earnings per common share of $0.09 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, included a reduction of compensation and benefits of $937,000 ($560,000, after tax), or $0.01 per share, related to the settlement of the former Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association pension plan. Earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, also included a charge of $570,000, or $0.01 per share, related to the write-down of deferred assets as a result of tax laws enacted in the State of New York during the first quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our return on average assets was 0.78%, as compared to 0.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, our return on average stockholders’ equity was 2.97% as compared to 2.94% for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
 
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013
Total assets decreased $10.8 million, or 0.4%, to $2.69 billion at March 31, 2014, from $2.70 billion at December 31, 2013.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in securities available-for-sale of $34.7 million and other assets of $2.1 million, partially offset by increases in net loans held-for-investment of $25.6 million, bank owned life insurance of $984,000, and FHLB stock of $1.2 million.
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $122,000, or 0.2%, to $61.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $61.2 million at December 31, 2013
 
The securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled $902.4 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $937.1 million at December 31, 2013.  At March 31, 2014, $820.9 million of the portfolio consisted of residential mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae.  The Company also held residential mortgage-backed securities not guaranteed by these three entities, referred to as “private label securities.”  The private label securities had an amortized cost and estimated fair value of $4.0 million at March 31, 2014.  In addition to the above mortgage-backed securities, the Company held $76.5 million in corporate bonds which were all rated investment grade at March 31, 2014, and $946,000 of equity investments in mutual funds. The effective duration of the securities portfolio at March 31, 2014 was 4.45 years.
 
Total loans held-for-investment, net, increased $25.6 million to $1.52 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013

Originated loans held-for-investment, net, totaled $1.38 billion at March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.35 billion at December 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans of $15.0 million, or 4.4%, to $355.2 million at March 31, 2014 from $340.2 million at December 31, 2013, and multifamily real estate loans of $10.2 million, or 1.2%, to $881.2 million at March 31, 2014, from $871.0 million at December 31, 2013.  In the current economic environment, management is primarily focused on originating multifamily real estate and home equity loans, with less emphasis on other loan types.  The following table details our multifamily real estate originations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

PCI loans, primarily acquired as part of a transaction with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, totaled $56.9 million at March 31, 2014, as compared to $59.5 million at December 31, 2013.  The Company accreted interest income of $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.    

Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions totaled $46.0 million at March 31, 2014, as compared to $45.9 million at December 31, 2013.        
    
Total liabilities increased $23.6 million, or 1.2%, to $2.01 billion at March 31, 2014, from $1.99 billion at December 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily attributable to increased borrowings of $26.0 million, securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $3.0 million, and advancements by borrowers for taxes and insurance of $2.3 million, partially offset by decreased deposits of $7.9 million.

Deposits decreased $7.9 million to $1.48 billion, at March 31, 2014 from $1.49 billion at December 31, 2013. The decrease was attributable to decreases of $8.7 million in certificates of deposit accounts and $3.9 million in transaction accounts, partially offset by increases of $4.7 million in savings accounts. The decline in deposits resulted, in part, from the Company’s decision not to retain higher cost time deposits.
 
Borrowings increased by $29.0 million, or 6.16%, to $499.3 million at March 31, 2014, from $470.3 million at December 31, 2013.  Management utilizes borrowings to mitigate interest rate risk, for short-term liquidity needs, and to a lesser extent as part of leverage strategies.  The following is a table of term borrowing maturities (excluding capitalized leases and short-term borrowings) and the weighted average rate by year (dollars in thousands):

Total stockholders’ equity decreased by $34.4 million to $681.7 million at March 31, 2014, from $716.1 million at December 31, 2013.  This decrease was primarily attributable to net stock repurchases of $38.3 million and dividend payments of $3.3 million. These decreases were partially offset by net income of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and a decrease of $1.3 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a result of the decreased interest rate environment.
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013
 
Net income.    Net income was $5.2 million and $4.8 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, and 2013, respectively.  Significant variances from the comparable prior year period are as follows: a $350,000 increase in net interest income, a $1.1 million decrease in non-interest income, a $2.3 million decrease in non-interest expense, and a $1.0 million increase in income tax expense.
 
Interest income.  Interest income decreased $752,000, or 3.2%, to $22.8 million million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $23.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Interest income on loans increased by $1.3 million, primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of $266.0 million, which was partially offset by a decrease of 61 basis points in the yield earned on loans.  The Company accreted interest income related to its PCI loans of $1.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Interest income on loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, reflected prepayment loan income of $535,000 compared to $490,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The March 31, 2014, quarter also included a recovery of $246,000 of interest income that was

previously charged-off related to a loan payoff. Interest income on mortgage backed securities decreased by $1.8 million primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of $321.4 million and a decrease of two basis points in the yield earned.
 
Interest expense.   Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 23.2%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease consisted of a decrease of $900,000 in interest expense on deposits and a decrease in interest expense on borrowings of $202,000.  The decrease in interest expense on deposits was attributed to a decrease in the cost of interest bearing deposits of 17 basis points to 0.40% from 0.57%, and to a decrease in the average balance of interest bearing deposit accounts of $261.8 million to $1.25 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $1.51 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The decrease in interest expense on borrowings resulted from a decrease of 58 basis points in the cost to 2.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from 2.62% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was partially offset by an increase in average balances of borrowings of $75.3 million, or 18.6%, to $479.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, from $404.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013
Net Interest Income.    Net interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased $350,000, or 1.9%, due primarily to a 19 basis point increase in our net interest margin to 3.10% and a decrease of $186,000 in our average interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in average interest-earning assets of $114,000.  The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to decreases in interest-bearing deposits.  The 2014 first quarter included loan prepayment income of $535,000, as compared to $490,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The March 31, 2014, quarter also included a recovery of $246,000 of interest income that was previously charged-off related to a loan payoff. Rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 15 basis points to 0.85% for the current quarter, as compared to 1.00% for the prior year period.  Additionally, yields earned on interest-earning assets increased four basis points to 3.69% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 3.65% for the comparable quarter in 2013.
 
Provision for Loan Losses.    The provision for loan losses increased $140,000, or 50.5%, to $417,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $277,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The increase in the provision for loan losses resulted primarily from loan growth.  Originated loans grew approximately $32.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $19.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Net recoveries were $111,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $385,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
 
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $1.1 million, or 33.3%, to $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $3.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  This decrease was primarily a result of a $1.7 million decrease in gains on securities transactions, net, as there were fewer securities sales in 2014, partially offset by an increase of $318,000 in fees and service charges for customer services and an increase of $219,000 in income earned on bank owned life insurance.  Securities gains in the first quarter of 2014 included $69,000 related to the trading portfolio, while the first quarter of 2013 included securities gains of $243,000 related to the trading portfolio.  The trading portfolio is utilized to fund the Company’s deferred compensation obligation to certain employees and directors of the plan.  The participants of this plan, at their election, defer a portion of their compensation.  Gains and losses on trading securities have no effect on net income since participants benefit from, and bear the full risk of, changes in the trading securities market values.  Therefore, the Company records an equal and offsetting amount in compensation expense, reflecting the change in the Company’s obligations under the plan.
   
Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 16.0%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  This is due primarily to a $1.7 million decrease in compensation and employee benefits which is related to the settlement of a pension plan acquired in the Flatbush Federal Bancorp, Inc. and Flatbush Federal Savings & Loan Association merger (the Merger), the reduction in staff as the result of the Merger, and the mark-to-market adjustment related to the Company's deferred compensation plan which is described above. Data processing costs decreased $786,000, due to conversion costs related to the Merger, and professional fees of $220,000 also contributed to the overall decrease in non-interest expense. The decreases were partially offset by a $219,000 increase in occupancy expense, due to an increase in snow removal costs, and a $249,000 increase in other expenses, primarily related to an increase in other REO expenses. 
 
Income Tax Expense The Company recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, was 40.7% as a result of the deferred tax asset write-down of $570,000 related to the New York State tax law change enacted on March 31, 2014, as compared to 35.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The tax reform lowered future marginal tax rates and changed apportionment factors, resulting in a reduction of the Company's deferred tax assets.

Loans Subject to Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) Agreements
 
Included in non-accruing loans are loans subject to TDR agreements totaling $10.5 million and $10.7 million at March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At March 31, 2014, $8.9 million, or 85.4% of the $10.5 million were not performing in accordance with their restructured terms, as compared to $7.5 million, or 70.4%, at December 31, 2013.  Three relationships account for the $8.9 million of loans not performing in accordance with their restructured terms at March 31, 2014, of which one relationship is made of up of several loans totaling $7.4 million collateralized by real estate, with an aggregate appraised value of $9.5 million as of November 2013.

The Company also holds loans subject to restructuring agreements that are on accrual status, totaling $25.6 million and $26.2 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At March 31, 2014, loans of $2.7 million, or 10.4% of the $25.6 million were not performing in accordance with the restructured terms, as compared to $3.6 million or 13.7% of $26.2 million at December 31, 2013. These loans were less than 60 days delinquent at March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity.  The overall objective of our liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to meet financial commitments and to take advantage of lending and investment opportunities.  Northfield Bank manages liquidity in order to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise.
Northfield Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, borrowed funds, the proceeds from maturing securities and short-term investments, and to a lesser extent the proceeds from the sales of loans and securities and wholesale borrowings.  The scheduled amortization of loans and securities, as well as proceeds from borrowed funds, are predictable sources of funds.  Other funding sources, however, such as deposit inflows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  Northfield Bank is a member of the FHLB, which provides an additional source of short-term and long-term funding.  Northfield Bank also has borrowing capabilities with the Federal Reserve Bank on a short-term basis.  Northfield Bank’s borrowed funds, excluding capitalized lease obligations and floating rate advances, were $495.7 million at March 31, 2014, and had a weighted average interest rate of 1.87%.  A total of $125.2 million of these borrowings will mature in less than one year.  Borrowed funds, excluding capitalized lease obligations and floating rate advances, were $470.3 million at December 31, 2013.  Northfield Bank has the ability to obtain additional funding from the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank discount window of approximately $812.5 million utilizing unencumbered securities of $446.3 million and multifamily loans of $366.2 million at March 31, 2014.  Northfield Bank expects to have sufficient funds available to meet current commitments in the normal course of business.
Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (stand alone) is a separate legal entity from Northfield Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay dividends, repurchase its stock and for other corporate purposes. Northfield Bancorp, Inc.'s primary source of liquidity is dividend payments from Northfield Bank. At March 31, 2014, Northfield Bancorp, Inc. (stand alone) had liquid assets of approximately $147.6 million.
Capital Resources.  At March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, Northfield Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements to which it is subject.

In July 2013, the OCC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  Among other things, the new rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property.  The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain "available-for-sale" securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised.  The rule limits a banking organization's capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a "capital conservation buffer" consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements.

The final rule becomes effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015.  The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.  The final rule also implements consolidated capital requirements for savings and loan holding companies, such as the Company, effective January 1, 2015. The Bank and the Company currently comply with the final rule.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the financial statements.  These transactions primarily relate to lending commitments.
The following table shows the contractual obligations of the Company by expected payment period as of March 31, 2014:

Commitments to fund unused lines of credit are agreements to lend additional funds to customers as long as there have been no violations of any of the conditions established in the agreements (original or restructured).  Commitments to originate loans generally have a fixed expiration or other termination clauses which may or may not require payment of a fee.  Since some of these loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, total commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
A majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature.  Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk.  Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage-related assets and loans, generally have longer maturities than our liabilities, which consist primarily of deposits and wholesale borrowings.  As a result, a principal part of our business strategy involves managing interest rate risk and limiting the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates.  Accordingly, our board of directors has established a management risk committee, comprised of our Chief Investment Officer, who chairs this Committee, our Chief Executive Officer, our President/Chief Operating Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our Chief Lending Officer, and our Executive Vice President of Operations.  This committee is responsible for, among other things, evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for recommending to the risk management committee of our board of directors the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
The management risk committee aims to manage interest risk by structuring the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while maintaining an acceptable level of risk exposure to changes in market interest rates.  Liquidity, interest rate risk, and profitability are all considered to reach such a goal.  Various asset/liability strategies are used to manage and control the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities.  These strategies include pricing of loans and deposit products, adjusting the terms of loans and borrowings, and managing the deployment of our securities and short-term assets to manage mismatches in interest rate re-pricing.
Net Portfolio Value Analysis.  We compute amounts by which the net present value of our assets and liabilities (net portfolio value or “NPV”) would change in the event market interest rates change over an assumed range of rates.  Our simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis to measure the interest rate sensitivity of NPV.  Depending on current market interest rates, we estimate the economic value of these assets and liabilities under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100, 200, 300, or 400 basis points, or a decrease of 100 and 200 basis points, which is based on the current interest rate environment.  A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent.  An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. 
 
Net Interest Income Analysis.  In addition to NPV calculations, we analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income model.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings.  In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for a twelve-month period.  Depending on current market interest rates we then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumption that interest rates experience an instantaneous and sustained increase of 100, 200, 300, or 400 basis points, or a decrease of 100 and 200 basis points, which is based on the current interest rate environment.   
The table below sets forth, as of March 31, 2014, our calculation of the estimated changes in our NPV, NPV ratio, and percent change in net interest income that would result from the designated instantaneous and sustained changes in interest rates.  Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be relied on as indicative of actual results (dollars in thousands).

The table above indicates that at March 31, 2014, in the event of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 19.32% increase in estimated net portfolio value and a 5.18% decrease in net interest income. In the event of a 400 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 31.02% decrease in estimated net portfolio value and a 12.06% decrease in net interest income. Our policies provide that, in the event of a 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, our projected NPV should increase by no more than 400 basis points, and in the event of a 400 basis point increase in interest rates, our projected NPV should decrease by no more than 1000 basis points.  Additionally, our policy states that our net portfolio value should be at least 8.5% of total assets before and after such shock at March 31, 2014.  At March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all board approved policies with respect to interest rate risk management.
 
The duration of a financial instrument changes as market interest rates change. Potential movements in the duration of our investment portfolio, as well as the duration of the loan portfolio may have a positive or negative effect on our net interest income.
 
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in NPV and net interest income.  Modeling requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.  In this regard, the NPV and net interest income information presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured, and also assume that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities.  Accordingly, although interest rate risk calculations provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2014.  Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
